there is a drinks/lunch bar next to the pool as well as pool table, sauna and spa room (spa sessions have to be pre ordered (+) the rooftop pool and bar areas are a must see and if you care to walk you can quickly climb up hidden staircases outside (+)location, fantastic view from room, restaurant, pool, bar etc (-) bar wasn t open and public areas lacked atmosphere at this time of year (early march) (-) no bar area open in evenings

we enjoyed the beautiful garden, swimming pool, and a sauna

for the rest of the days we used either the hotel shuttle , or the regular buses

view onto the ocean and funchal - good restaurant always open with friendly staff as well - free parking

view from the hotel, close to the airport, very good breakfast.

again apart from that the view from the tarrasse is phenomenal and the concept of the honest bar is great

was excellent — i do wish coffee/tea wasn’t considered part of the mini bar as most places do offer it to their guests

well stocked honesty bar on the veranda - so guests treated like adults

well stocked mini bar but also honestly bar on

no proper bar either

breakfast bar was not up to the standard of a 4 star hotel.

bar prices were quite high, but there's a fantastic bar overlooking the sea just down the road

with it being on a hill side, we had fantastic views from the restaurant / bar and pool areas

cappuchino from the coffee maschine unbearable, reasonable cappuchino from the bar only against extra charge

noisy bar at the bottom of the road, needed to use earplugs then not a problem

situated on the water front, next door to the old town, which is chock full with bars, restaurants & the famous painted doors and muraled walls

husband appreciated poolside bar service

sea view and few steps away from a pebble beach with old town with several great restaurants and bar around

is only one issue and that is in the early evening if you wish to sit outside at the captains bar where you are bothered by pigeons

think the pool bar should offer poolside service instead of walking to same

no washing machine, but laundry service offered by the host

we cooked and found the kitchen well equipped

there was therefore a big temperature difference between the kitchen, where there was no radiator, and the living room, where there was a radiator

kitchen includes only very basic equipment

friendly peacocks greet you in the mornings :) the kitchen/living area is well equipped

hotel in the center with lovely roof top bar and pool, the staff was excellent

the location was excellent in old town funchal, within walking distance to several restaurants, bars and shops

lovely rooftop bar with nice drinks and pool that unfortunately we didnt get to use as the weather was a bit cold

have been nice to have a drink or two in the afternoon at the rooftop pool but the bar didn’t seem to be open during my stay however this was maybe due to time of

the swimming pool is tiny but probably ok for kids

breakfast was not very pleasant

good hot breakfast , good coffee from coffee machine, good choice of cold plate cheeses and ham

breakfast - very poor (only bread, some ham and corn flakes, no cheese, no vegetables, no fruits

beds a little too firm, limited breakfast buffet

pillows are a bit uncomfortable. breakfast is good food but lacks a bit of imagination.

could recommend bolero on str 31 janeiro, bar revolution, venda velha and

hotel has reasonably priced restaurant and bar next door

the snack bar downstairs

location, the cozy bar downstairs, reminds me of kaurismaki movies.

there is bar in this hotel this is the reason a little bit noise until midnight.

there is no wi fe in a room only at reception and bar area

i stayed there for 5 nights, the indoor swimming pool is also nice with a small bar area and tv / lounge

was not so much choice at the bar for drinks, for example they only had one brand of each spirit type

the pool closes at 8pm and the bar was not open on a thursday night

can recommend snack bar neptuno

the view from the terrace is nice, but the bar never seemed to be open

room to dark no drying facilities no room to swing a cat at breakfast wifi poor spa not in use bar not open on

rooftop bar could have been well utilised as it would have been nice to be serve refreshing drinks whilst

the rooftop terrance had a bar but wasn t used and it didn t look like it had been used in a while, that was a small let

happy hour for cocktails in the bar between 6 and 7pm offered 2 for 1, which meant that a 14 euro bill became 7 euros

) was a shame and bar got busy at night with a bit of a chaotic approach to ordering drinks, but struggling to think

the staff in the breakfast room and upstairs in the bar are amazing

location excellent evening meal restaurant was excellent as was the rooftop bar for lunch

amazing terrace pool and bar on top floor

the rooftop bar is the place for very sunny afternoons and breezy evenings

sides with tall glass frames to prevent the wind from blowing the pool lounge chairs across the bar and customers

the bar area was also underused which is a shame, the hotel is a bit of a distance to town so it would

to the pool area and the gym the dining and breakfast rooms were very spacious as well as the bar area for relaxing at

gym should be open earlier. more available staff at pool bar in afternoon.

piano bar was wednesday night only

the jacuzzi wasn't working, there was no one to man the bar in the indoor pool area

the room was a haven of comfort, featuring a private swimming pool with ocean views

3) very good bathroom + cosmetic 4) swimming pools, billiard, books, bar with music evening 5) service is good

no bar facility down at atlantic pool level so nowhere to order a drink if sunbathing there

ough didn't use too much) and great views from the bar / restaurant and room

the restaurant and bar have amazing views of the sea and everything is perfect

the bar was great, and the bartender was very helpful and

not that keen on the music played by the pianist in the bar .

spa was fantastic, expensive but good value

room service), nothing beats being able to quickly make oneself

one member of the bar staff had brought his personal issues to work and that was reflected in his grumpy, perfunctory

in the evening isn’t very good and nothing for children the snack bar didn’t have ice cream

good and responsive to requests, as indeed were the reception staff ( especially david ) and the bar staff

no show load music round the pool but we did manage to find a quiet spot on the decking pool bar shutting at 6pm we liked to sit out until 7pm or go out for a walk then sit out and have a late

we thought the terrace bar was a rooftop bar with a view

terrace bar staff weren't the friendliest, breakfast was pretty boring after a couple days, limited

the view from the balcony! and the rooftop bar has an excellent view as well!

pool area is good too but could do with a bar around the

the outdoor pool area and bar was a great place to relax

nice bar and pool areas

bar at the reception and spa downstairs

(reception, bar next to the

piano bar not open

crown jewel of this hotel (aside from the fabulous pool) has to be the reception floor with the bar

) you are a guest of the hotel but still need to show a code to get a tiny discount on each bar or restaurant purchase; the discount should automatically be applied since they know your room

how high of a bar they set for so many things, it was rather disapointing to see that some optional elements have

the pool bar did not open until towards the end of our

bar could do with some reorganisation, we found that it closed early for a few hours during the day

to high prices in the bar and lunch menu.

good choice and quality of foods at breakfast and at the pool bar for lunch

great little outside bar by the pool in the afternoon with reasonably priced drinks including cocktails

carol at the outdoor bar was great, so friendly, and helpful

the pool bar should be also open longer than 17

bar area was the only downside for us

all pool n bar staff friendly, helpful n professional especially juan and stefano

everything

wine, soft cold and hot drinks on help yourself service; rest of the drinks including cocktails bar service shuttle bus twice per day to funchal city centre if you go out for a day -u can ask for

service in the restaurant and in the bar - very helpful, running around all the time vigorously but not distractive

the bar and restaurant manager made the stay even better i found him to be helpful and friendly, he is

a shame that the bar closed so early (5

the bar could have been open a little longer

the hotel had a bar next to the reception with happy hour from 6 to 7 pm, with some tasty drinks for bargain price

some of the staff at the bar area were rude.

cocktails in the little bar in the shop looking at the view

not a cosy bar for evening

there isn't a proper bar area to go to at the end of the evening
